At the last count, interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer saw the likes of Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, Nemanja Matic, Romelu Lukaku and Anthony Martial pull out of international duty with various degrees of injuries.

However, they are likely to be ready for Man United's Premier League date with Watford on Saturday, March 30, although Lukaku might need more time to recover from a foot injury.

In addition, Valencia, who is expected to quit United as a free agent in the summer after 10 years at the Theatre of Dreams, returned to action for Ecuador in a 2-0 defeat to USA last Friday, after not playing for United since a 2-0 win at Newcastle since January 2.

But Valencia is unlikely to be included in Man United's 18-man matchday squad.

Earlier, TUKO.co.ke reported thatEric Bailly suffered an injury during international duty and was substituted during a Group H AFCON qualifying match.

Bailly was in action for Ivory Coast in their last Group H Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers match against Rwanda. He scored Ivory Coast's second goal as The Elephants stunned the East African side 3-0 to cement their qualification for the continental competition.

However, the defender had to be substituted late into the game after a nasty collision with an opponent.
